Welcome!
Your behavioral health consultant (BHC)
What can I expect at my first visit?
You can expect the BHC to ask you questions about physical problems, emotional concerns, and your behaviors. You can expect your appointments to be about 25-30 minutes and for the BHC to help you better understand your difficulties and develop solutions. You can also expect the BHC to have a close working relationship with your provider. The BHC and your provider will share information so you can all work together as a team.
How is this service different than going to a mental health clinic?
The services provided by the BHC are just another part of your overall healthcare. Your discussions are confidential. Notes from your visits will be in your medical record. At times, other types of services may be needed outside the clinic and we will help you find these.
Where do I see the BHC?
Your behavioral healthcare will be in this clinic - you will not have to go anywhere else to see the behavioral health provider. We also offer telehealth and phone appointments.
